The Chicago Blackhawks recalled goalie Jason LaBarbera from Rockford of the American Hockey League on Thursday. Goalie Kent Simpson was reassigned to the IceHogs.
LaBarbera, 33, was 1-3-0 with a 3.28 goals-against average and .870 save percentage in seven games with the Edmonton Oilers. The Blackhawks acquired him from Edmonton in exchange for future considerations Saturday.
